Shahajahan was the King who built Taj Mahal in the loving memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal.

He built it in 15/16th Century. It took 22 years to build that huge marble monument with more than 20000 labours. The cost of building that structure was Rs. 90 million at that time.

One cannot compare that amout in todays exchange rates. It could be more than a thousand billions in todays times. It was too costly at that time also.

Later he chopped off hands of some of the mportant artists who carved out that beautiful monument out of marble stones.

It is cheaper for me to go to Singapore from Chennai or Bangalore, than go to Delhi or Kolkata.

A small farming community an hours drive from Seattle. Washington, USA. I am originally from Southern California, born and raised there.
Cannot handle heat at all, and dont know why.........
Have been in Wa. 13 years, have visited every state in the U.S.  EXCEPT Alaska, Hawaii, Florida and Vermont-hope to move to Montana soon. It rains and snows here, and gets up to approx 85F in the summer.

Gaeliccrossed1, your summer isn't that hot, 85F is only mild for us here, we get temperatures around the 95F to 104F and some times even higher.

Yikes!-90F is when I shut down completely, where i grew up it would get in the 100's too ,why do you think I moved here? You can always put on more clothes here but theres only a certain point when it getsso  hot that you can take clothes off until they arrest you......My theory is why put society through that whole scenario.....
